Recently, one of the authors and his family migrated from Nigeria to take up employment in the United States of America and the other from Spain to the United Kingdom. Both journeys have been ones of mixed feelings, as we have both reaped rewards, but have experienced significant hardships. The migration of skilled workers has been ongoing for centuries and seems set to continue. Individuals who embark on such journeys become entangled with a lot of hopes and expectations, some of which may be unfounded. However, there are several benefits and drawbacks to migration from source nations into any of the advanced receiver countries. In this paper, we share our experience as highly-skilled workers and hope that this will help stimulate other individuals who have embarked on this journey or are yet to commence the process. We also hope that this paper will inform policy direction, employers´ attitudes, and community response to highly-skilled immigrant workers.
最近，作者之一及其家人从尼日利亚移民到美国工作，另一位作者从西班牙移民到英国。这两次移民之旅都充满了复杂的感受，因为我们都有收获，但也经历了巨大的困难。技术工人的移民已经持续了几个世纪，似乎还将继续下去。踏上这样旅程的个人会陷入很多希望和期望之中，其中一些可能是没有根据的。然而，从来源国移民到任何一个先进的接收国都有一些好处和坏处。在本文中，我们分享了作为高技能工人的经验，希望这将有助于激励那些已经踏上这一旅程或尚未开始这一过程的人。我们还希望本文能为政策方向、雇主态度和社区对高技能移民工人的反应提供信息。
